COMPLIANCE
RCM:
Roband
®
products have been designed and manufactured to comply with any and
all specifications set out by the Australian Communications and Media Authority
(ACMA) in regards to Electromagnetic Compatibility. As testament to such
compliance these units bear the RCM symbol.

ACSS (ADVANCE CONTROL SAFETY SYSTEM):
The ACSS framework is a stringent and specific set of voluntary requirements
aimed at the electrical safety, reliability and longevity of equipment used in the
foodservice industry.
The ACSS framework has been developed as both a guide to the engineering and
development of products as well as a guarantee to consumers that Roband
equipment bearing this mark not only meets the requirements of the Australian
Standards, they exceed them.
A unit bearing the ACSS mark is your guarantee that you are purchasing a machine
built to far exceed the Australian standards. The unit has been designed to be safer,
particularly from an electrical aspect, and last longer than similar units on the market
today.

INSTALLATION
Remove all the packaging materials and tape, as well as any protective plastic from
the machine. Clean off any glue residue left over from the protective plastic using
methylated spirit.
Place the Toaster on a firm, level surface in the required position. Adjust the feet if
necessary to level the unit if the surface is slightly uneven.
Fit the entry chute. The entry chute is secured in position by simply placing it over
the upper most pins protruding from the inside face of the toasting cavity so that the
chute is lying at a near 45 degree angle with the chute rest lying along the upper
crumb tray.
The exit chute can be used in two positions. Out of the box, the exit chute is in the
“Front return” position. The chute may be reversed, for pass through operation, by
unscrewing the two screws and refitting it in the reverse position. Replace the
screws in the new position to secure the chute. Note that in the reverse position
the screws are inserted from the inside of the toaster.
Before connecting the toaster to the power supply, ensure that all the controls are
in the “OFF” position.
For models TCR10, plug the toaster into a standard, single phase, 10Amp power
point.
For model TCR15, plug the toaster into a standard, single phase, 15Amp power point.
Always ensure the power cable is not in contact with hot parts of the toaster when in
use, and have any damaged power cord replaced immediately.
OPERATION
The elements and conveyer are switched on simultaneously using the rotary switch
located on the control panel labelled “POWER”. When the toaster is switched on
the pilot lights will illuminate to indicate power to the top and/or bottom elements
depending on the switch position. The conveyor speed controller located on the
control panel labelled “CONVEYOR SPEED” controls the speed of the conveyor
belt
TOASTING
Switch the power on by rotating the “POWER” switch to the required setting. For
toast switch to “top and bottom elements” (Both pilot lights should be lit). The “Top
Elements” and “Bottom Elements” only settings are for use when toasting buns and
garlic breads etc. when only one side requires toasting.
Allow a warm up time of 5 to 10 minutes.
For TCR10 set the conveyor speed control to an initial position of around 5 to 6. On
this setting of 6 for a TCR10 a piece of toast should take approximately 70 sec.
For TCR15 on an initial conveyor speed control setting of 8 to 9, a piece of toast
should take approx 50 seconds to complete toasting.
Page: 4
TEST SETTINGS – Place two slices of bread on the entry chute and check the
results when they have finished toasting.
ADJUST SETTINGS – If you require the toast to be darker, decrease the speed of
the conveyor. Alternatively, should you require lighter toast, increase the speed of
the conveyor. Make these adjustments to the conveyor speed in small amounts.
You will find that a small change will have a significant affect on the degree of
toasting.
Once satisfied with the settings and the toasting results, the toaster can be left
running and fed continuously with bread. You will find however, that from time to
time some minor adjustments may need to be made.
To facilitate access to the toasted bread it is possible to partially pull out the lower
crumb tray.
OPERATING TIPS
Best results are obtained by using “day old” bread, which has lost some of the moisture
inherent with fresh bread.
Different breads will have different toasting properties. Using the same brand of bread
will result in more consistent toasting through user familiarisation.
Regular cleaning of the crumb trays and reflector is essential.
ELEMENT SELECTION
TOP ELEMENTS ONLY
Used for toasting items such as garlic bread and herb bread, where heat is desired
from the top only.
BOTTOM ELEMENTS ONLY
This selection is best used for single sided toasting of uneven products, or products
of differing heights, such as hamburger buns. In the case of hamburger buns there
can be a considerable height difference between the top and bottom halves, which
would mean that toasting with the top elements could cause the taller halves to be
darker than the shorter halves. By turning these pieces over and using the bottom
elements the buns are toasted consistently every time.
TOP & BOTTOM ELEMENTS
Suitable for all types of standard breads, though it is important to note that breads
with a higher sugar content will toast much faster.

SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY
This machine contains no user-serviceable parts. Roband Australia, one of our
agents, or a similarly qualified person(s) should carry out any and all repairs. Any
repair person(s) should be instructed to read the Safety warnings within this manual
before commencing work on these units.
Steel cutting processes such as those used in the construction of this
machine may result in sharp edges. Whilst any such edges are removed to
the best of our ability it is always wise to take care when contacting any
edge.
Do not remove any cover panels that may be on the machine.
This unit can get very hot, ensure everyone is aware that the machine is
operating and take care to avoid contact with hot surfaces. Use gloves (or
some other form of protection) when handling the toasting rack as the wire will be
hot.
National Standards exist outlining the positioning, spacing and ventilation
requirements when installing new appliances. These Standards should be
consulted and new equipment should be installed accordingly. In any situation
where specifications allow a distance of less than 100mm we would still
recommend that a well-ventilated air gap of not less than 100mm be maintained. If
the machine is near particularly heat-sensitive materials common sense should be
employed in determining sufficient distancing.
Always ensure the power cable is not in contact with hot parts of the machine
when in use. Ensure that any damaged power cord is replaced before further
use. These cords should be replaced by qualified service persons only.
Do not clean this unit with the use of a water jet.
CLEANING, CARE & MAINTENANCE
Attention to regular care and maintenance will ensure long and trouble free
operation of your toaster. Although scheduled servicing is not required we do
recommend you adopt a program of regular maintenance to ensure that the Toaster
is clean and functional and to avoid inadvertently damaging the unit.
Ensure the power is off and the toaster is cool before attempting to clean any part
of the machine.
Wipe the toaster down with warm soapy water using a damp sponge or cloth. Do
not immerse the toaster in water or allow the ingress of water into the ventilation
holes or controls. Do not clean this unit with the use of a water jet.
Daily cleaning of the crumb trays is essential. These parts may be removed by
simply sliding them out from the toaster and they should be emptied and washed
Page: 6
with warm soapy water. Be sure to put these parts back into the unit in their
correct positions.
The top reflector should also be checked and cleaned periodically. The reflector is
located on the underside of the top. To remove the reflector, simply slide it out.
Be sure to put the reflector back into the unit in the correct position.
Note: The reflective surfaces of the crumb tray and top reflector aid the cooking
process. Over time, these surfaces may become tarnished and this reduces the
efficiency and performance of the toaster. To overcome this, aluminium foil can be
wrapped over these two components to restore a good reflective surface. This foil
can then be replaced when necessary.
CAUTION: Although every care is taken during manufacture to remove all
sharp edges, care should be taken when cleaning and handling the toaster to
avoid injury.
CAUTION: Some cleaning agents can damage stainless steel, usually through
prolonged use. For this reason we recommend cleaning with soapy water. Any
damage to the unit through the use of harsh or improper cleaning agents is entirely
the fault of the user.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the Toaster does not function check the following points before calling for service.
The machine is plugged in correctly and the power switched on.
The Power switch is in a position other than the “Off” position.
The power point is not faulty.
The Power knob is not loose or broken, rendering the switch inoperable.

TOASTING ADVICE
AN EXCERPT FROM AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED BY ROBAND AUSTRALIA
Regardless of the brand, any radiant heat toaster will run into problems when faced
with the nasty prospect of fresh bread. The reason for this is simple; the high
moisture content in fresh bread acts to counter the toasting effect. The moisture in
each slice is driven down through the body of the bread (ie the top dries out faster)
resulting in the top of the bread toasting before the bottom.
It is annoying for several reasons…. Primarily commercial restaurants and cafes
want their toast done as fast as possible, but high moisture content slows this
toasting down, and the uneven toast produced can be quite frustrating.
The solution to this is very simple and widely known; the bread needs to be a day
old before toasting. By using day old bread you effectively bypass the problem of
moisture content, as most breads will have lost a significant portion after a single
day. Some breads have particularly high moisture contents and these may retain a
higher level of moisture than your standard Sunblest or Tip Top.
Toasting can be further improved by ensuring that the bread is not stored in a fridge
or cool-room prior to toasting. Refrigerated bread will not only start the bread cold
and extend the toasting time further; it will also serve to retain within the bread the
very moisture we are trying to get rid of.
Day old bread will prevent most of the problems, but there is one complaint that
cannot be solved quite so easily. If the toasting is uneven front to back (this is in a
grill toaster) then you do not have an easily rectifiable dilemma. As with the Grill
you all use at home, the toast in these machines will always toast faster at the back
than the front.
The reasons for this are obvious when you think about it; the rear of the grill is
closed, the front is open, so you lose a lot more heat out of the front than out of the
back. In designing larger units the rear elements are installed closer to the food
product, but with differences in the expansion/contraction of the elements in each
unit, coupled with varying environmental factors (such as air-conditioning), it is
impossible to build a unit that will perform identically in all surroundings. Once
these units are in situ however, and have had a chance to “burn in”, it is possible to
bend the steel elements (when they are COLD!) slightly toward or away from the
toasting rack to fine tune performance. In the majority of cases the differences in
the degree of toasting are so small as to not warrant the effort, but it is an option
worth considering nonetheless.
If you have a need to fine-tune the toasting of any steel element toaster (if the
elements are glass you will not be able to achieve this fine-tuning) please contact
our engineering department for a little advice before bending anything.

APPENDIX A
RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICES (RCD’S)
Also known as Earth Leakage Protection systems an RCD is a protective device
that automatically disconnects the active conductors of a circuit when an earth
leakage current reaches a predetermined value.
Although RCD’s are mandatory in domestic installations, and in the final sub-
circuits of residential-type areas, the Australian Standards quote that the
requirement of an RCD does “not apply to a socket-outlet…..for the connection of
fixed electric cooking appliances, such as ranges, ovens or hotplates”
In installations that are neither Domestic nor Residential-type, AS/NZS 3000 2.5.3.3
states that RCD’s are needed only in situations where equipment may represent an
increased risk of electric shock to the user, and there are many special comments
related to the use of heating elements.
AS/NZS3000 2.5.2 gives the following warnings that should have been taken into
consideration when an RCD circuit was installed.
To avoid unwanted tripping due to leakage currents and transient
disturbances, care should be taken to ensure that the sum of the leakage
currents of electrical equipment on the load side of an RCD is less than
1/3 of its rated residual current.
To avoid excessive leakage current causing unwanted tripping where
socket-outlets are protected by one RCD having a rated residual current
not greater than 30mA, consideration should be given to the number of
socket-outlets protected and the nature of electrical equipment likely to
be connected to the socket-outlets.
Tubular elements (such as those used in this unit) reaching temperatures greater
than 110°C are subject to moisture absorption and therefore earth leakage current
generation. Should the installation and use of this unit trip an RCD the unit will
need to be run on a circuit without an RCD (as mentioned above) for approximately
30-60 minutes, after which time the elements should have dried out and the
machine should function normally. If you are unable to locate a circuit without an
RCD please contact your supplier, or if you prefer you can contact Roband and
send the unit to one of our offices where we can run the machine on a suitable
circuit free of charge (a return freight charge may apply).
